Jerry and Marge Go Large
I posted this first video a while back about the Selbee's from Evart, MI. (less than an hour from me)
They appeared on 60 minutes..about their lotto winnings from 19 years back. It's a great true story. Now, the movie is on. Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening are playing the couples parts. Set to appear on Paramount on June 17 https://www.yahoo.com/news/jerry-marge-large-based-michigan-020605233.html

Here's how they did it. Of course, the lotteries wised up. Can't be done today.

Anyone see it?

Can't remember the last time I actually went to a movie...but this does look like it could be a fun one. Legally beating "the man" is cool.

Thanks for reposting this, Paul.
I keep a list from the movie thread and posts like this. Well done!

Paramount + is a streaming movie source for viewing at home. I think they offer a free first month? I'll check that out tomorrow.

I watched the movie this afternoon. There was nothing new presented. But, it was cute and predictable. It was a good way to kill an hour and a half.

^^^ That sums up about how I felt also. Watched it yesterday.
The 60 minute clip was more like I wanted to see.

I’ve met duller people, I just can’t remember when.

A better background for the movie. A very likeable couple.
